Man claims his donkey likes smoking

Footage has emerged from China of a donkey being given a large, make-shift cigarette.

The video, filmed in Zhangye, Gansu Province on June 13, shows a man putting the cigarette made out of firewood into the donkey's mouth.

The man claims his donkey actually likes smoking, as he says it calms the animal down when it's in a bad mood.
